[Pythoncad-developer] OS X version of pythoncad

[<ger...@gm...>]

Hi,

I finally got gtk-osx and pygtk build on snow leopard, this was not so easy  
because snow leopard (and my machine) are all 64 bits.
Because gtk-osx and pygtk only works as a 32 bits build it took me a while  
to puzzle how to build it.

At this moment pythoncad is running on osx but not as it should be.

What I need to do for a usable osx version is:
The menubar needs to be on top of the screen and not in the pythoncad  
window.
Only drawing with cairo works well, using the graphic context leaves  
artefacts all over the screen, this has to be changed.

The problem I have at this moment is that the source files are huge and it  
very difficult to find your way in it.
Question is can I break up some of the source files in several smaller  
source files?
If so is it better to work in a different branch and later merge that with  
the R37 branch?

Also all the drawing done with the device context must be replace by cairo  
drawing.
It will be a lot of work but work has to be done to improve performance  
anyway.

If anyone has thoughts about it let me know.

Greetings,
Gertwin
